Backups can be automated. Restores are a manual, heightened-attention, deep-focus process.

Spelling the country's name correctly is one of few prerequisites. Maybe if Australia created very strong trade ties with Taiwan, we would change the name of the country to Asustralia.

I've never really understood the protectionist mindset. It kinda only makes sense to me as a fading shadow of WWII paranoia. The invasion of Australia by a foreign adversary has never been something I've worried about (but, maybe,

But there's also no fundamental need for a bold move either. Country relationships are almost entirely based on trade. It's 'nice' when there are ideology and policy overlaps, but they would get overlooked if there wer

I think it's fairly well acknowledged, but there is no 'dealt with' that fits into any kind of reality I'm familiar with. My purely observational understanding is that there are fundamental incompatibilities between abor

As an Australian, I don't think our 'heritage' is of much consequence. Current constituency and overall stability matter more, to me. If you mean 'our British heritage' as in, the percentage of the Australian popula

NZ is always the correct answer but is rarely given because it's taken for granted.

It's expensive if it wasn't part of the planning and design. The same as 'security' is expensive, or compliance with regulations is expensive. It is also a choice to not do any or all of the above.

Sounds like advertising platforms. Spraying malware and links to scam sites all over the place. "They" don't care about the end-people. "They" care about maximising their profit thing, in a vacuum.

If you are a true Christian, then Flock is blasphemy; it is literally overbuilding God's capabilities.

Would that be worse than what we've got now?

I actually thought that you were quoting from the book, as example of how it was not genuine. LOL.

Totally on-brand. On the flipside, however, he may not have any idea what they were talking about.

It does sound as if he has lost his grip on reality. > When TechCrunch asked Mullenweg if his comments about being back as CEO were legitimate, he promised a blog post was coming. When it arrived, however, it was about him buying a hous

Are you talking HN or TechCrunch? If HN: it isn't a public service that has to allow free speech. One of the reasons it has persisted and maintained a certain level of quality is because of it's community rules, and their enforcem

I think you need to be at a certain level of karma to 'earn' the right to downvote. Flag is for inappropriate content / behaviour.

I look forward to any country putting forward very heavy advertising regulation as a proxy for the tax avoidance schemes they all use.

This one isn't a stray. This is multiple sources actively and accurately directing their shots.

> "Abort the author" Shame that was untrue. > What I don't get is why haven't they shut it down Likely just because it's profitable enough. If nothing else, that seems to be the #1 guiding principle.

Yeah, but that also says to Google that their methods are successful. That makes my skin crawl.

They wanted a whinge, and not a solution. A position that I truly do not understand, but is not uncommon.

I think it is fair to pin this on Google, Meta, X, and any other ad networks that seem to have no control over their own platforms. They're like Dr. Frankenstein, creating a monster and then just letting it roam the countryside. But wo

I treat Youtube Premium as a reward for Google making non-Premium such a horribly uninviting, anti-social place; ie. I would never pay to stop the bully punching me in the face, I would stop putting my face in the bully's window.
